Thanks Jason.. looks like “creative ways” is my only options then.
SInce the fields need to be hidden during purchase registration
but visible during activation.

They dont need to submit valid regcode if they are buying, and we cant have people that are buying thinking they need to have a valid regcode to do so. : / Likewise we cant have people using the open activation and never coming around to give the regcode after the fact.

We only offer Level 1 for purchase or activation.

Thanks though. will try to learn some creative php.

Every user in Buddypress gets a profile page.
So the addy becomes http://video.icu2.com/Username/

Our customer base would absolutely not survive on real names.. so Username being unchangeable is a problem in itself that we are trying to handle as smoothly as possible.

Everything is linked to a chat system that uses that Username as the avatar — so symbols dont bother anything there.. but defining the username as the login is already in place.

:/ yeah unfortunately i can foresee a good deal of trouble in making that switch.
If the login becomes the sanitized name.. there is no way to effectively let every user know their new login name without disrupting the flow yet again ( this is a very newly launched product cross over)

So if they activated Username “Sam……” the sanitized version would try “Sam” and if taken, add the “Sam-2” and that is what the user would need to input to login.

ugg.

Upsetting as it is I’d retain more users by manually continuing to delete new user accounts that d;i[ through with periods or @

S2 and WP allow a Username to contain Capital as well as lowercase, dashes and underscores without any trouble.

But they also allow @ . which both result in the user’s profile not functioning because the page address now contains the . or @

Not quite sure if changing our db to nicenames is an option at this point since over 4,000 users have already activated based on Username.

Does nicename automatically pull username, cleaned?? If so what happens to duplicate names like “jeff@” versus “jeff” when you try to get to their profile page?

Cristian,
I did post about this in the old forums .. but was not notified when you tried to respond.

http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17083

Any Username with: . ()/@ in it will break the profile in WP.
but S2 is still allowing underscores, periods, dashes and even whole email addresses with @ in them.

I need to get proper Username validation to kick in as soon as possible – since its even letting it occur with paid subscriptions.

Up til now i’ve hand- deleted any account with special characters – but once they pay that because a bigger problem .. since sometimes their username is already taken without characters.

Help!

Additional question:

i have a user that purchased our 6month non recurring option.. then minutes later bought our 1 year non recurring. : /

What happens in this situation? It is access to the same thing/ same level purchased twice. Does the system add one purchase to the other.. so that the total would be 18 months? or does it overlap them concurrently?

Since the person did not create 2 accounts during this spending spree – only his current 1 year purchase shows in his 1 profile info. Does S2 cancel out the first purchase? or do we need to get in there and refund that first purchase manually?
